The Giants announced the signing of running backs Ryan Torain and Kregg Lumpkin Tuesday. To make room for them on the roster, the Giants placed Andre Brown on injured reserve with a designation to return and waived offensive lineman Selvish Capers, who had been promoted from the practice squad last week.

In 10 games with the Washington Redskins in 2010, Torrain ran for 742 yards and four touchdowns while catching another two touchdowns.

Lumpkin had 33 carries for 124 yards and 45 receptions for 325 yards in parts of two seasons with Tampa Bay.

The practice squad contract of former Rutgers running back Joe Martinek was terminated for the second time this season.

I’m kind of surprised Martinek wasn’t given a shot since the Giants added two running backs, especially considering he could help out on special teams.
